The Barking Dog Alehouse

I really enjoyed my experience here. My food was good, the drinks were good, I was able to watch the game from my seat, the place is clean and ambient, and their service is a pleasure to deal with. One thing to note, parking is pretty bad. They do not have a dedicated parking lot. It's street parking first come first serve. Almost as bad as trying to park down town. I ended up parking a block away around the corner.I like the decoration, but it is a bit dark inside like most pubs. Lately I've been finding a lot of bright and spacious drinking spots. This place almost has bbq house vibes. They also have a cool themed covered outdoor seating. A great environment to come with friends.The food selection is better than the average pub in my opinion. I ordered the salmon and my date ordered the burger. We could barely finish all of our food. I blame their tasty drinks for filling us up. I tried their currant cider and it was good. My partner and I tried a few beers before picking one. Most had great flavor, but it's opinionated.

Okay. Nice setting in an eclectic neighborhood. I had the Date Night pizza- GF. The crust was like a dry cracker, with no texture. The pizza was so bland- no sauce at all- and very little prosciutto. Arugula was good, which is great, as it was piled on. The goat cheese was yummy-Hubby like his Aloha Bowl. The drinks were good- always love a Block 15 brew! Our server was so nice! However, a dude who was in a hurry to shutdown asked me if I wanted a to-go box after I'd eaten only 2 small slices. Ugh. Hate that pressure!!Our dog was happy!

"You want to go where everyone knows your dog's name! " (queue the Cheers theme song here). What an amazing neighborhood restaurant and bar. Inside seating or outside. All comfy inside and out. Parking is a breeze. The staff is so attentive to your dining needs and your K9 needs. All served up with love. The menu is incredible and never boring. My wife is from Kauai and even she agrees their Loco Moco is the best. Thank you! 2 Paws Up!

Had a happy hour beer with my daughter - place was crowded and with a rich selection of pours. They don't serve food but you're welcome to bring takeout (especially from the burger place next door) which is actually a great concept - one place specializes in brews and the other on food! It was walking distance for us so think of it as a neighborhood watering hole.

The ordering and payment process was super simple and easy with everything done on your phone. The patio is pet friendly, for warmer months. I got the Bloody Mary, chicken tenders + fries! Definitely upgrade to the waffle fries because it makes the meal feel special and different

The QR code system was a bit awkward. The simple 20 second task of saying "I'd like a burger with a Coke" now requires 5 minutes with a website. Plus, the new system charges a 1% service fee, which wasn't mentioned anywhere on the physical menu, sandwich board, or website. Getting nickel and dimed with random fees feels frustrating as a customer. If expenses are higher, please just raise your prices and don't bait and switch with the fees. I didn't know about this fee until checkout.

We love this place because we can bring our dog (inside or out!). They have gluten free buns which is a total game changer and allows me to eat a great deal of their menu. The food is quite good - we have been back a few times already. If they ever get a gluten free pizza crust (they don't currently have one), then I'd be done for and they would definitely start recognizing me!They get quite a bit of light inside, they have sports on tv, and a they have a nice friendly atmosphere. You order your food with a code on the table and they are very fast about getting food and drinks out to you. When cashing out, the auto tip it sets to is 25% so I would caution you to pay attention as you click through the app and tip whatever you would prefer! The parking is neighborhood street parking and it can be quite difficult to find depending on when you go.

Food is good but service is near non-existent. You are expected to order from an app - which has changed several times in the past couple of years. On the most recent visit the meals for our table all arrived at different times - with a three year old this made it impossible for everyone to finish before she was ready to go. No one checks to see if you need anything so I found boxes myself to pack leftovers for home. Prices are also high for a neighborhood restaurant. Finally, when paying the tip options are - 22%, 25% and 28%. This is ridiculous for a restaurant that provides only the most basic service possible.

First off, I am biased because I needed to find a place where we could eat outside together, on a nasty rainy day, with a dog. What I found was an enthusiastic greeting on a covered, well-heated patio. What surprised us all was how good the food was- we got interesting drinks and fresh tasty bowls with varied ingredients. We puzzled over where the QR code was- (finding it later on a tag hanging under the table (!), after we'd ordered inside. No big deal.) The only issue I had was twisting my knee on the horribly upthrust sidewalk at the hair salon next door. We'll be back- and no doubt will the others in the cozy, busy, restaurant, all enjoying themselves greatly, indoors and out.

A wonderful neighborhood spot. The food is good, servers are always nice, and it's a few blocks from our house. Grateful it's in the neighborhood!
